Why are they shooting at unarmed grandmothers holding hands with a child?

Because it’s collective punishment and they want to maximize suffering.

But that will never be officially said. They are well trained to know what is legal and what is not.

So the official reason will always be that they thought she was a terrorist. Some combination of not being able to see properly in the dust, being under fire from her general direction and terrorists dressing like civilians.

Because they’re radicalized far-right terrorists invading another foreign nation and committing genocide as a matter of state policy.
